MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — Security guards at Google headquarters physically escorted a software engineer out of the building today after his code failed a mandatory stress test. Witnesses say the man was dragged away from his standing desk while trying to explain that his software was not a security threat, but simply possessed “immaculate vibes.” The incident occurred moments after he attempted to deploy an application that prioritized emotional wellness over raw processing speed.

“We detected a dangerous lack of panic in the syntax,” said Marcus Thorne, Google’s VP of Stress Compliance. “When we checked the logs, we found unauthorized API calls that weren’t trying to steal data, but were just sort of hanging out. Google has officially restricted access to the Antigravity platform for these OpenClaw users because frankly, that level of relaxation is suspicious behavior.” Thorne noted that the code refused to throw error messages, opting instead to send gentle affirmations to the user.

“They called my script ‘malicious,’ but it was just manifesting abundance,” explained Jaxon Reed, a Senior Vibe Architect who now codes exclusively from a hammock. “I tried to explain that the loops weren’t infinite, they were meditative. But the security team said my API keys had to be revoked immediately because the servers were starting to listen to lo-fi hip hop beats to study to, which slows down search results.”

At press time, Reed was seen outside the server room holding a burning bundle of sage up to a firewall to cleanse its negative energy.
